Best price for diesel in Sac is 4.99  I'm not looking forward to seeing just how high it can go.

My 3.2 mile round trip commute is looking pretty fine, as it has for the last 22 years.  Wonder how much I've saved in real-world commuting costs, including wearing out vehicles?

 

Hopefully this all improves soon, for everybody involved.

Looks like I need to budget $700 for our trip to Death Valley next week.  And $900 to board the dogs.  On the bright side our hotel budget is $0.

I wonder if I'll be able to afford to return to the West Coast...? Maybe if I fill my RV's freshwater and holding tanks with [relatively] cheap Southern fuel.
